Our story

A local expert for every business

The idea came from mystery shopping farm shops across the UK. Each one needed someone nearby who could help it improve its customer service, and that is how insight6 still works.

insight6 is the largest customer experience consultancy in the UK. Mystery shopping, feedback, journey mapping and training can all run as one plan.

Jonathan Winchester, founder of insight6, telling the story of the business
Our history

From Australia to the UK and Ireland

  1. 1990s

    One supermarket in Perth, Australia

    A single visit showed how much the store’s service could improve, and led to a mystery shopping programme for its manager.

  2. 1990s

    Shopper Anonymous

    The supermarket’s manager asked for a visit every month. Word spread, and the business grew across Australia and New Zealand, trading as Shopper Anonymous.

  3. 2010

    Arriving in the UK

    A visit to one farm shop led to mystery shopping for farm shops across the country.

  4. 2018

    Becoming insight6

    The business took the name insight6 from the six steps at the heart of its work.

  5. Today

    Over 25 CX Specialists across the UK and Ireland

    Each one runs the insight6 franchise for their own region.
